I love Yu – Japanese Onsen Hot Spring Guide

I Love Yu is a collection of reviews and other information about onsen and sento in Kansai and beyond. It is focused on local bathhouses (sento) and hot springs (onsen) that can be visited on a day trip, after work or on the weekend. Sento and onsen have a long history in Japan and give the bather a chance to experience this important part of Japan’s natural and cultural history.

David Kawabata lives in Western Japan and is obsessed by Japanese onsen hot springs and trains. In his blogs he reports on hot springs and public bathes he visits during his trips mainly through the Kansai area. He also is the author of the blog Sleepy Tako.
